Questioning Myself

I question my thoughts inside my head,
Am I happy? Do I stay? Do I go?
What is right? What is wrong? Do I follow my heart?
Am I being selfish? Truth is I don’t know

When is the time to say “Enough”?
Am I ready to call it a day?
Is it time to admit defeat to myself?
Can I prepare to walk away?

Is the now the time to admit to myself?
That between us, things just aren’t right
Has the time arrived to take a break?
Can I stop myself crying to sleep every night?

Should I leave right now? Or wait till morn?
Lonely, confused and yet still aware
Am I prepared to face the future alone?
Single, no longer part of a pair

Should I do what I think? Or do what I want?
Should I walk away not take another glance?
Should I remember the phrase “love conquers all”?
Should I retreat and give it yet another chance?


Will anything be finally decided by me?
Will I be brave enough to make such a choice?
Can I be strong enough to stand on my own?
Listen to my heart and hear my own voice?

Questions swirl around unanswered, left blank
Waiting and pleading for resolutions as I wait
Will I ever escape from this indefinite mood?
I believe the answer has already been decided by fate

This poses a lot of questions. It may have been more interesting to have seen a few possible answers and a discussion on their results - try to beat fate.

loved this piece.  I too have been there.  Our destiny is already been planned, we just have to experience the journey.  We are never given more than we can handle.  Keep up the good work.  lis
